Phuket air B747

[PIA747]

Phuket air is operating B747s on behalf of Holiday airlines in Thailand. Does any body know what their recruitment status is?

[PIA747]

Can somebody in Bangkok find out. I saw the phuket aircraft in Jeddah doing the Hajj.

There are a number of Phuket Air 742s at BKK. A couple of ex KLM 742 SUDs and some that look like ex UAL.

I doubt if they are recruiting as there has been nothing in the local press and (I believe that) Thai labour laws only allow ex pats if the job cannot be filled locally or you have some unique skills.

If I see or hear anything, I will let you know.

Just found out from a CP that Thailand has dispensed with local recruitment requirements due to shortages of pilots.

They start flying to dubai
via Chittagong this month. Prague and London in May and June respectively. Any update on the recruitment status?

[Engineer]

Chittagong appears a strange choice for a staging post?

Saw a Phuket Air 742 in KUL on Saturday 24th. Anybody know what they are doing here?

Just out of Interest are they using those 748 Turboprops I noticed the other day? Or are they waiting for later.
TQ.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think they are YS-11s.

[kwaiyai]

Could YS11 also be, As I only noticed them as we Taxied past the other day. Thanks Taikonaut, Regards
